"Kris was with Kim and her family in Bora Bora, and he playfully threw her in the sea," the source says. "Kim emerged from the water, freaking out, with cameras rolling, shrieking that she had lost one of her diamond earrings, which are worth $75,000."

The source adds, "Kim was crying hysterically, but then miraculously, one of her younger sisters found the earring in the ocean, where the group had been swimming. It was probably 6-8 feet deep, and Kris commented to Kim how unbelievable it was that the valuable earring was found as the current in the ocean in Bora Bora is very, very strong. Kim just said, 'I know,' with very big smile on her face."

So there you have it. Reality shows are staged. In related news, the sun will rise in the East tomorrow.
